Mike immediately raised his hand to touch his neck, adjusting his collar while his flushed face eased slightly. However, Alexander's
stare was still unkind. "What do you mean?"
"He's saying that someone has kidnapped Nick," Lily softly said as she stepped forward.
Alexander turned and looked at her in disbelief. He did not know about this and was shocked. After all, Mike had never said
anything before this. Later, Alexander becso occupied with everything that he never bothered asking about Mike's family. He
was in a daze after hearing what Lily had said.
At this moment, Mike's face was calm. A bitter smile flashed across his face, and he asked, "Can we talk elsewhere?" Then he
looked around and continued, "It's not convenient to talk here."

After all, they were in a public place.
Before Alexander could speak, Lily squeezed his arm, looked at Mike, and said, "We can, but we decide where."
Once bitten twice shy, so her guard was up. Mike naturally understood this. Ever since what happened, she would never consider
him as her friend again. However, he had no complaints. After all, he did that to himself.
"Okay." He nodded.
Ultimately, the place Lily chose was an elegant tea house just a short distance from the hospital. The place was secluded and
relatively quiet. There were special rooms for members with good privacy. Most importantly, it was a property under the La Beaute
Group.
She was smart. By choosing such a place, she would not have to fear Mike having ill intentions or trying to pull any moves.
Mike knew he was wrong and had no objections. He followed them into a private room, and the tsat down. Then the waiter
served stea and snacks before exiting. Lily looked at Mike and said, "Okay, whatever you have to say, say it."
Just as he was about to speak, Lily added, "However, it's best if you just finish saying everything you want to say quickly. After all,
we may not have the patience and tto listen to you next time. We're only doing this for your son's sake."
Her eyes softened when she mentioned Mike's son.

No matter what was happening in the adult world, children were innocent. On top of that, Galen and Nick got along very well, and
Galen genuinely enjoyed being friends with Nick. Naturally, Lily would also be worried if something happened to Nick.
However, she was doubtful of Mike's words.
He lowered his head and smiled bitterly. He did not refute but sighed instead. "I know what | did to you was wrong, but | had no
choice. As | said, Nicky is in their hands. If | don't do as they say, | don't know what will happen to him." He lowered his head again
sadly, unable to hide his loss.
Alexander looked at Mike and thought he was telling the truth. Alexander narrowed his eyes and asked, "You can't find him?"
"Nope." Mike shook his head. "lI have used everything | had and searched all over the world. I've done everything possible, but |
don't have a clue. He seems to have disappeared from this world."
"Is a pecuniary reward not enough?" Alexander asked.
